Can home carers help with nutrition and appetite during lung cancer treatment?
Yes, many people find their appetite changes during lung cancer treatment due to nausea, taste changes, or fatigue. We can provide gentle meal support, focusing on small, frequent snacks and drinks that are easier to manage. This might mean preparing soft foods, fortifying meals when recommended, or having favourite snacks on hand for when appetite appears. We’ll also encourage hydration and keep track of preferences over time. We always work in line with any dietary advice given by your medical team or dietitian and adapt to what feels comfortable day by day.
